Mount the RTMS Echo
3
NOTE: Always follow local wiring codes and local standards
that apply to the location in which the RTMS Echo is being
installed.
1. Attach the bracket to the roadside pole (or another
specied location) using stainless steel banding or bolts.
2. Secure the RTMS Echo to the mounting bracket using the
washer, lock washer and nut. Make sure that the cable
connector is on the bottom of the unit when it is mounted.
3. Adjust the RTMS Echo to be perpendicular to the travel
lanes and level with the road. This is the roll and can be
ne tuned in section 5.
4. Tilt the RTMS Echo so that the sensor is aimed at the
farthest monitored zone. The tilt recommended in section 2
can be ne tuned in section 5.
5. Hand tighten the nuts for the moment. Final tightening
will be done after the aiming process (section 5).
CAUTION: Make sure the mains are turned o prior to
connecting the wires.
6. Undo the protective cap on the sensor’s connector.
7. Insert the RJ-45 connector from the cable to the RJ-45
receptacle on the bottom of the sensor.
8. Tighten the cable’s locking collar by turning it a quarter
turn to the right.
9. Connect the other end of the cable to 12-24VDC power
and communications in the breakout box according to the
pinouts shown below. In addition, the silver (non-colored)
wire must be connected to Earth ground.
NOTE: Surge suppression is recommended and ltering may be
required (see the help system for details).
